36460, After seeing it a second time, I disagree. It's a Top 5 of the year.

I haven't seen 5 movies better than Dreamgirls this year.
The "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" scene I'd say is one of the all-time classic scenes in the history of American movie musicals. I can't think ONCE of seeing anything where people reacted more strongly in any movie in recent memory, definitely since the millennium. The way it's filmed, lit, staged, set design, costume design, performance...it is flawless cinema. That scene ALONE gets it the nomination.
And ALL of the performances were better the second time around, in particular Jamie and Beyonce, who at first I thought were merely "good."
